Dalle producing hallucinated text and nonsensical words in the image

DALL-E sometimes adds hallucinated text and nonsensical words in the images it produces. Is there any specific prompt or technique we can use to avoid this issue and ensure the generated images are accurate and free of irrelevant text?

e.g. In the following generated images, Dalle produces hallucinated text and nonsensical words in the bottle of cream.

DALL-E 3 is not good at generating text. This is expected behaviour, but will likely be improved with future models. If you specify that the focus should be on specific text, it will produce better results. Text in the background, especially if not specified, will result in garbled text.

I have been experiencing this issue for over a month. I reported the issue to tech support and they were no help. I called it “smudge-like” art. Try prompts with geometric shapes or straight lines and you’ll still get these “smudges”. Dalle has lost it and its slowly doing this to users. I was experiencing it back in June while my brothers account wasnt. Now my brothers account is getting these smudges too.

Same here. It can’t draw a clear, straight line for the past month or so. Maybe one out of 100 images it does it correctly.
